if_o in_o stead_n of_o wear_v their_o hair_n on_o their_o head_n or_o neck_n they_o wear_v it_o as_o far_o as_o they_o can_v get_v it_o to_o go_v on_o their_o back_n shoulder_n and_o breast_n that_o they_o may_v do_v this_o without_o any_o divine_a control_n for_o we_o can_v tell_v they_o that_o thing_n indifferent_a be_v to_o be_v govern_v and_o limit_v by_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o indifferent_a if_o therefore_o man_n long_a hair_n arise_v from_o pride_n vanity_n of_o mind_n and_o a_o affectation_n of_o be_v fine_a as_o they_o think_v that_o way_n than_o its_o sure_a unlawful_a for_o though_o there_o be_v a_o indifferency_n in_o the_o cut_n and_o order_v of_o the_o hair_n yet_o pride_n be_v no_o indifferent_a thing_n or_o if_o man_n do_v it_o in_o compliance_n with_o other_o that_o in_o these_o day_n use_v so_o much_o to_o exceed_v that_o general_a rule_n be_v not_o conform_v to_o this_o world_n 12.2_o will_v in_o the_o just_a extent_n thereof_o give_v a_o check_n to_o it_o or_o if_o it_o be_v of_o ill_a report_n and_o a_o offence_n to_o the_o wise_a and_o godly_a it_o do_v in_o that_o regard_n thwart_v with_o those_o rule_n which_o require_v we_o to_o do_v thing_n of_o good_a report_n 4.8_o and_o in_o thing_n indifferent_a to_o give_v no_o offence_n to_o any_o 10.32_o and_o moreover_o we_o can_v tell_v they_o what_o the_o apostle_n say_v and_o what_o question_n he_o propound_v for_o better_a order_n among_o the_o christian_n at_o corinth_n which_o be_v this_o do_v not_o even_a nature_n itself_o teach_v you_o that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v long_a hair_n it_o be_v a_o shame_n to_o he_o loc_n let_v man_n consider_v how_o they_o will_v answer_v ●he_n apostle_n who_o word_n whatsoever_o shuffle_v man_n m●ke_v be_v at_o least_o thus_o far_a convince_a that_o man_n be_v not_o to_o wear_v their_o hair_n so_o long_o as_o to_o confound_v the_o sex_n and_o transform_v themselves_o into_o woman_n wear_v a_o ornament_n which_o take_v it_o in_o such_o a_o length_n and_o extent_n be_v proper_a to_o woman_n and_o so_o as_o it_o be_v deny_v their_o sex_n which_o god_n forbid_v in_o the_o law_n 11.14_o if_o it_o be_v say_v for_o man_n to_o wear_v hair_n as_o long_o as_o woman_n be_v indeed_o a_o fault_n but_o not_o otherwise_o to_o that_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o man_n can_v wear_v because_o they_o can_v have_v ordinary_o hair_n so_o long_o as_o woman_n nature_n will_v not_o afford_v it_o they_o have_v give_v woman_n a_o moist_a temperature_n to_o nourish_v that_o hair_n which_o be_v their_o distinguish_a ornament_n and_o glory_n 2._o i_o answer_v further_o that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a bad_a character_n for_o any_o man_n to_o come_v next_o to_o that_o though_o he_o come_v not_o full_o up_o to_o it_o which_o be_v absolute_o naught_o and_o unnatural_a if_o it_o be_v say_v again_o that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o that_o which_o be_v against_o nature_n not_o absolute_o but_o according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o those_o time_n and_o place_n unto_o which_o he_o direct_v his_o speech_n when_o in_o other_o country_n it_o be_v otherwise_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v not_o against_o nature_n strict_o take_v to_o wear_v very_o long_a hair_n because_o some_o nation_n have_v let_v their_o hair_n grow_v extreme_o long_a for_o who_o know_v not_o that_o not_o only_a heathen_n but_o divers_a christian_n do_v that_o which_o be_v against_o the_o dictate_v and_o direction_n of_o nature_n 11.14_o 2._o i_o add_v further_o with_o beza_n 11.14_o that_o the_o jew_n and_o people_n of_o god_n do_v not_o use_v so_o to_o nourish_v their_o hair_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o nazarite_n not_o to_o cut_v their_o hair_n which_o show_v that_o other_o usual_o do_v so_o and_o therefore_o that_o of_o absolom_n be_v extraordinary_a 68.21_o and_o his_o way_n and_o end_n make_v his_o example_n sad_a 3._o if_o we_o have_v recourse_n to_o custom_n only_o yet_o we_o may_v very_o well_o say_v it_o have_v not_o be_v the_o custom_n in_o england_n for_o man_n to_o wear_v their_o hair_n so_o excessive_o long_a as_o appear_v by_o the_o lord_n comwel_n imprison_v a_o servingman_n mere_o for_o such_o excess_n 512._o but_o now_o indeed_o it_o grow_v to_o be_v a_o custom_n and_o so_o invade_v the_o whole_a nation_n that_o not_o only_o every_o youth_n in_o a_o manner_n but_o every_o child_n be_v put_v into_o that_o fashion_n i_o speak_v not_o of_o what_o be_v moderate_a and_o modest_a but_o of_o a_o general_a excess_n this_o way_n evident_o declare_v that_o though_o we_o have_v be_v so_o long_o of_o late_a under_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o still_o be_v under_o such_o hazard_n notwithstanding_o god_n admirable_a work_n for_o our_o settlement_n by_o the_o return_n of_o our_o gracious_a king_n as_o shall_v humble_v our_o heart_n and_o keep_v they_o in_o a_o modest_a frame_n yet_o we_o be_v become_v more_o bold_a more_o high_a and_o a_o more_o distemper_a and_o dissolute_a people_n than_o heretofore_o and_o here_o let_v it_o be_v observe_v that_o at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o be_v in_o the_o late_a time_n when_o man_n grow_v to_o be_v so_o horrid_a and_o illimitable_a in_o their_o hair_n they_o be_v extreme_o extravagant_a also_o in_o their_o head_n and_o conceit_n and_o as_o they_o will_v have_v such_o a_o length_n and_o latitude_n of_o hair_n grant_v they_o as_o shall_v only_o not_o quite_o raze_v out_o the_o distinction_n of_o sex_n so_o they_o plead_v for_o such_o a_o liberty_n of_o opinion_n as_o shall_v only_o not_o raze_v and_o force_v up_o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o religion_n as_o if_o it_o be_v injustice_n to_o tie_v subject_n to_o any_o law_n of_o the_o nation_n save_v only_o to_o fundamental_a

my_o purpose_n which_o be_v and_o be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o general_a rule_n of_o scripture_n and_o the_o determination_n of_o minister_n according_a to_o and_o in_o virtue_n of_o those_o

that_o be_v right_o draw_v and_o deduce_v from_o they_o in_o this_o way_n our_o saviour_n prove_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n 32._o to_o wit_n from_o this_o general_a ground_n of_o

to_o teach_v and_o declare_v as_o the_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n the_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o that_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n v_o 40._o to_o those_o that_o seek_v to_o he_o for_o his_o

say_v of_o a_o express_a commandment_n of_o god_n 7.25_o but_o that_o which_o i_o will_v more_o especial_o observe_v be_v that_o paul_n be_v seek_v by_o the_o corinthian_n to_o inform_v they_o about_o marriage_n do_v not_o resolve_v they_o absolute_o and_o enjoin_v they_o either_o to_o marry_v or_o not_o to_o marry_o because_o he_o have_v no_o special_a word_n of_o god_n for_o it_o but_o he_o

and_o will_v have_v they_o before_o who_o it_o now_o be_v to_o look_v at_o it_o also_o for_o in_o such_o a_o time_n the_o church_n be_v so_o toss_v to_o and_o fro_o that_o the_o very_a present_a

irreligious_o that_o be_v without_o a_o serious_a and_o godly_a think_v of_o this_o own_o main_a thing_n that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o design_n and_o dispose_v ourselves_o into_o that_o estate_n

that_o minister_n now_o be_v not_o infallible_a nor_o to_o be_v compare_v with_o paul_n as_o a_o apostle_n but_o yet_o this_o may_v be_v infer_v from_o paul_n way_n of_o answer_v the_o corinthian_a
